Quote

1

[on Martin Melcher, the husband of Doris Day, who was at one time a singer in Brown's band] Marty Melcher was an awful man, pushy, grating on the nerves, crass, money-hungry. He lived off Patty Andrews, then when Doris came along and looked like a better ticket, he glommed onto her.

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

3

Choosing goals that are important to you is one of the most essential things you can do in order to live your dreams.

4

[on the resurgent popularity of big-band music] I hate to say it, but there's no relationship between what these guys are doing now and our music, or Benny Goodman's or Artie Shaw's.
